Not being a blogger myself, I have no idea to the time it takes. It takes 2 people to be friends, and online to have those friendships require comments to the posts. I will be a better at commenting at your table rather than just reading, laughing, and/or crying at your stories.<br /><br />If you will allow me to be personal for a moment. On Feb. 5, 2011 my father died of a stroke. I spent that year taking care of my mother who no longer knew who I was nor remembered my dad died. My mom died on Feb. 4, 2012. Throughout this time, I had little time or desire to craft, but took time to view blogs. Your blog truly allowed me to escape the grief I was feeling and allowed me to freely breathe and laugh. So, I thank you! You truly deserve the same. ~Mary in ChattanoogaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226280836740630353.post-58733393376493682362013-01-11T21:11:38.558-06:002013-01-11T21:11:38.558-06:00So sorry Okie.

I read your blog, and have left comments from time-to-time. Will try to be a better commenter, as I've had so many chuckles reading your blog. And love hearing about your & Linda's adventures...so A BIG THANK YOU for all the inspiration, wisdom, sharing that you've given. I think you must be a very honest, up-front person, and I admire that. It's hard to 'put yourself out there' knowing strangers will read it, I think. You do it well, and it makes your readers feel like they know you 'personally'. So thanks & I hope you will continue when you have time.

I have truly enjoyed reading each and every one, even if they sometimes made me hurt for you to know what you were going thru was so painful. I can not bare my soul to the entire world as you do and I also admire you for that.<br />I truly enjoy your projects and I think you are very, very talented. I only have 9 subscribers to my blog at the moment and I don't post very often because of the time it does take to get everything together. <br />However, I will say I have looked forward to when you and all of your friends get together for your Christmas get-together and I am glad you let us peek in on the activities a bit. I wish I had as many close friends as you do to have one of these such get-togethers, I think it would be such a great time!<br />So please, please, please don't quit posting.....and I promise I will be better at commenting on what I like, don't like, etc. about things. <br />Thanks again for sharing a small piece of your life.<br />scrappy girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12945549646611529868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226280836740630353.post-86957605315360252022013-01-09T19:09:39.202-06:002013-01-09T19:09:39.202-06:00Thank you all for understanding!

I don't have a blog, and didn't really think about how much work it is to post something. I will try to leave comments on blogs to let them know they are appreciated.

I was so touched by the card making sessions you held and thought it was such a simple yet incredibly wonderful idea. You gave hope and inspiration to people that may not have found it otherwise. <br />I apologize for not commenting. I was afraid it would take up too much of your precious crafting time. I will try harder. <br />You deserve every accolade and acknowledgement as you spend soooo much time bringing joy into all of our lives. I don't understand why people have to be negative. I figure they have issues of their own that they don't want to deal with so they take it out on others. I apologize for the naysayers.<br />Thank you sooo much for all your posts. I look forward to getting them as they are so real and entertaining as well. I hope you keep on posting. I know exactly where you are coming from as I feel under appreciated for all my time and projects as well.<br />Heartfelt thanks!!!!!gypsyrpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02204918879333993801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226280836740630353.post-75125796401141128502013-01-09T09:38:06.596-06:002013-01-09T09:38:06.596-06:00Thanks Okie.

I don't expect to continuously be thanked for getting the groceries, doing their laundry, making sure they are fed (even if I didn't cook it), making sure they have gas for the car, clothes on their back, etc. but it sure is nice to occasionally hear, "Thanks Hon, or Thanks Mom" or Love you or a simple hug!<br /><br />I don't read your blog every day, but when I do go in search of a blog to "catch-up" on, yours is one of the first I turn to. I admire your willingness to "share" so openly with the world and wish I could be more like you!<br /><br />I also have always appreciated your creativity and know that it will just be expanding by leaps and bounds with MTC. I expect I will be checking in more frequently now that you will be using my favorite tool! For those who think they are "tied" to a computer, I would argue you are no more tied then you are with carts and handbooks looking for that one particular image that really isn't quite what you are looking for!<br /><br />Thanks Okie!<br /><br />MeFlickMelaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01403707313165008474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226280836740630353.post-26232676336848574632013-01-09T09:31:59.152-06:002013-01-09T09:31:59.152-06:00I just have to agree with Nanna above - I always t...I just have to agree with Nanna above - I always talk to and say thanks to anyone I meet through out my day, I always read all the comments, but tend to not comment unless I have something different to say than those above me... I'll work on it for all my blogs. Thanks for the lesson - not having a blog myself, I've never really thought about it from the other side.
